Family honor is the feeling of pride a person has for their own family or clan, whether because of a unique family history, the achievements of ancestors, the elevated social status of their family, or because of some cultural aspect of their homeland that places a strong emphasis on associating personal identity with family identity. Central to the idea of family honor is that the actions of one member reflect on the reputation of the entire family, and the reputation of the entire family reflects on the individual member. Compare to Thicker Than Water, which focuses on a characters obligations to another member of the family, which may or may not be expressed in terms of family honor. For a character that values family honor, it normally works as a motivator for them to try to act in a way that preserves the dignity and reputation of their family. In cultures that practice dueling, this often includes a willingness to fight against those that insult the family name (which can result in a full-blown Cycle of Revenge when two families each constantly feel the need to avenge themselves for the other's latest slight against them). However, this also includes less violent expressions. Family honor need not just be a motivator for revenge, but can also motivate honesty, courage, hard work, faithfulness, loyalty, etc. Certain cultures and social classes tend to be more likely to place an emphasis on family honor than others. Some characters might come from a family that has a particularly high status in society and therefore are under a particular pressure to live up to their family name. Aristocrats, especially of the fighting variety such as European knights and Japanese Samurai, tend to place a high value on family honor. Likewise, frontier cultures outside of the protection or hindrance of The Government might maintain a similar, though less refined code out of survival necessity. Other characters might have to deal with social disabilities that come from being a part of a family that is in disgrace or otherwise has a reputation for dishonor. |

Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge: This is the entire reason Cooler tries to avenge Frieza's death at Goku's hands; he feels Frieza has disgraced their family name by losing to Goku and it's up to him to redeem it. He makes it very clear that he has no love for his brother and would have gladly killed Frieza himself if Goku hadn't done so. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) has Hope Kintobor, niece of Dr. Eggman and half-sister to Snively. A big part of her reason for working for GUN, after Eggman carpet bombed Knothole, was because Snively switched back to the Eggman Empire's side shortly after sending her away; Hope wants to destroy the Empire and restore honor to the Kintobor name after all the atrocities Eggman and Snively have committed. | |

This is built into the system in Crusader Kings where the score that determines how well you've done at the end of the game is called 'family prestige'. All members of the dynasty are born with a prestige bonus (making other nobles more favourably disposed towards them) based on their family's accumulated prestige, and when they die the total amount of prestige they've accumulated through their life is added to their family's prestige score. Prestige can be gained from events, by holding land, by making a favourable marriage with another famous dynasty, winning wars, and many other things. Players are encouraged to maximize their dynasty's prestige not only through their own character(s), but with all branches of the dynasty. Members of the Muslim faith have an additional caveat to this trope called 'Decadence', representing the cycle of (often violent and sudden) overthrows of established dynasties in the Middle East. Decadence is a trait gained by male Muslims at random, with certain things (like being unlanded or having the Seven Deadly Sins) making it more likely and others (performing virtuous deeds like Zakat or undergoing the Hajj, holding lands or having the Seven Heavenly Virtues) making it less likely. Decadence score is given to your dynasty at a whole, accumulated by every decadent member, and reaching a high Decadence score reduces your tax income, makes your soldiers fight worse, and at high levels can spawn massive revolts to overthrow you. Playing a Muslim dynasty is an exercise in keeping your family on the straight and narrow, doing good deeds to reduce dynasty decadence, and either vigorously pruning the family tree or continually expanding to keep your family members landed and conquering to reduce the risk of decadence. |

In Honor Harrington, the Manticoran royal family have strong traditions of duty and integrity. It's more or less mandatory for Wintons to enter some form of public service, generally either the military or diplomatic corps. They also have a reputation of keeping their word. In Shadow of Freedom, Michelle Henke (first cousin to Queen Elizabeth III) trades on this when she starts setting up diplomatic agreements with the star systems she's just liberated from Solarian control, knowing that it is extremely unlikely Elizabeth will repudiate said agreements. The Arranged Marriage department; while Winton princes and princesses are encouraged to marry relatively early to ensure the succession, the current heir is required to marry a commoner. |

In A Brother's Price, this is enforced, as all family members are punished by the law if one steps out of line. One can get out of this by claiming that the family is estranged and was not working together, but it is automatically assumed that they did work together. After Heria and Jerin Whistler save the life of a princess, Queen Elder compliments Eldest Whistler (who wasn't even there at the time) for acting in accordance with the law, even though this endangered Jerin, a valuable boy. However, they also value their honor in the more abstract sense; Jerin's sister Corelle, when she notices that he's being courted by a noblewoman who thinks the Whistler family is beneath her, remarks that they will not be looked down on by their future sisters in law, and rescues Jerin from the unpleasant company. | |

Mass Effect has Ashley Williams, a Military Brat following in the footsteps of her father, grandfather, and great-grandmother. Unfortunately, her family has been unofficially blacklisted since her grandfather surrendered to the turians during the brief First Contact war (even though his only other option was letting his troops starve). The fact that he is the only human commander to do so just makes it worse. If Kaidan dies on Virmire, she'll despairingly lament that it should have been her. Shepard can gently call her out on this, and ask how far is she willing to go just to clear her family's name. Eventually, she will (depending on player choices) either die a hero's death on Virmire and be held up as a symbol of interspecies cooperation, or become the second human Spectre. Either way, she restores honor to family name. |

Star Trek: Klingons wear this as one of their hats. Worf's father was accused of betraying the empire by Duras of helping the Romulans attack Khitomer. Worf would eventually accept a ritual loss of honor from the Klingon High Council in order to protect the Empire from a scandal that had framed his father, falsely dishonored his house, and could potentially lead to civil war. While Worf decided to accept this dishonor, it was decided to keep the true identity of Worf's brother Kurn secret in order to protect Kurn's honor. | |

Naruto: Ninja clans and their politics are often a plot point: Despite being a founding clan of the Hidden Leaf Village, the Uchiha were infamous for this: Sasuke understandably is rather fixated on this, considering that he's basically the last Uchiha besides his treacherous brother Itachi. During The Team introductions, he states that his sole "ambition" is to kill his brother and then rebuild his clan, going so far as to abandon his village and comrades in order to do so. When he finds out that the Hidden Leaf's elders were the ones who ordered Itachi to annihilate the Uchiha, he goes completely off the deep end by redirecting his vengeance against the entire Hidden Leaf. Those who'd thought he had already jumped off the slippery slope were startled. Itachi himself plays with this. When forced to choose between his clan or his village, he ultimately chooses to wipe out his own clan rather than allow them to plunge the Hidden Leaf into civil war. However, one of his primary conditions for doing so was that the village elders would allow him to spare Sasuke. The whole reason the Uchiha end up being wiped out in the first place is that they felt their honor was being violated by the rest of the Hidden Leaf, despite being one of its greatest clans, and were planning a coup in response. The Hyuga clan is split into a hereditary head house that runs the clan and branch houses that exist solely to serve the head house, with the justification being that it's all to protect the secrets of the clan's bloodline limit. Nonetheless, the Hyuga's insistence on family honor is portrayed as a force for evil, with all the good decisions made by Hyuga in the series being done for personal reasons: Branch member Hizashi grew up bitterly resenting his brother Hiashi for becoming head Hyuga simply because he was born a few seconds earlier, but ends voluntarily sacrificing himself to save Hiashi not for the sake of his clan, but out of brotherly love and to finally choose his own fate for the first time. Hiashi's older daughter Hinata trains day and night to become worthy of being her father's heir but receives nothing but coldness for her efforts. When she does finally finds her strength, it's for her own sake and in honor of Naruto, not out of any real desire to become heir. Hizashi's son Neji also grew up resenting his position as a branch member who would always remain a mere servant despite his prodigious talent. But after Naruto beats the fatalism out of him, he begins to repair his relationships with Hiashi and Hinata, working with them not as a servant, but as a dear surrogate son and brother respectively. Hiashi himself gradually softens towards his daughters and begins to abandon the traditions that kept the branch houses subservient to the head family, even personally training Neji in techniques that were originally exclusive to the head house. The other founding clan of the Hidden Leaf, the Senju, became an aversion of this trope after the village was formed, to the point where they're now all-but-extinct and mostly have only spiritual successors from a variety of other bloodlines. The only known Senju descendant is Tsunade, who personally puts little stock in her heritage (for a while, she even viewed it as more a curse than a blessing) and sees herself is a ninja of the village first and foremost. Naruto Uzumaki himself plays with this a bit. He deeply admired and respected the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, long before he ever found out that the man was his father. Also, while Naruto is one of the few known descendants of a particularly respected clan, he's not one to put too much weight on family heritage or tradition, having grown up as an orphaned village pariah. |

In Game of Thrones, this concept is the motivation for Lord Tywin Lannister, The Patriarch of the villainous Lannister family. Made particularly clear in the speech he gives his son Jaime during Tywin's first appearance. He even starts a frickin' war because another House kidnapped his son Tyrion — whom he despises, by the way, but he's still a Lannister. | |

Son of the Sannin: This is a major motivator for Sasuke, though for entirely different reasons than his canon counterpart. Here, Itachi and Shisui fail to prevent the Uchiha coup, which resulted in massive civilian and ninja casualties. The two of them and Sasuke become pariahs due to their clansmen's actions as the only three survivors and Sasuke's primary goal in life is to restore his family's good name. While it's not as important to the narrative or her character arc, Karin mentions at one point that her goal in life is to one day restore the effectively extinct Uzuamki clan to it's former glory. Of course, there's only one way to actually rebuild a clan, so her section in the epilogue sees her pregnant with her seventh child. |

Unsounded: Mistress Lori is considered bad luck, and others blame the attack on the shrine on the gods' displeasure that she was made Mistress, because her twin sister ran away and refused to be publicly drugged, butchered and eaten as a sacrifice. Lori makes a comment about Iori "abandoning" her, despite Iori keeping in touch with her sister, for having chosen to live and making Lori's sheltered and wealthy life a tiny bit more difficult since some people view her with mistrust because her sister wasn't sacrificed. | |

Guiding Light. After a young woman kills a mobster in self-defense (he was trying to rape her and her friend), his brother quickly marries her in order to protect her—despite being a ruthless mafioso chief, his mother is adamant that she will not kill any member of her family so as not to disgrace them. | |

In Rise of the Tomb Raider Lara is trying to restore her family's honor that was stained by her Adventurer Archaeologist father's outrageous claims about the supernatural. This was the case in the first game as well, but after Yamatai Lara knows that her father was correct and wants to prove it. | |

In Art of Fighting this is pretty much Kasumi Todoh in a nutshell. Back in the first AOF, her father Ryuhaku was defeated by Ryo Sakazaki (practitioner of the rival Kyokugen School of martial arts) and subsequently left for parts unknown for self-training, leaving young Kasumi in charge of her family's dojo. As such, she hounds the Kyokugen-ryuu users (specifically Ryo) in Art of Fighting 3 and throughout The King of Fighters series with the hopes of besting them so that her father can return home (little does she know that Ryuhaku is actually following Kasumi to see how she's progressed as an heiress to the style). Kasumi holds no real ill-will towards the Kyokugen Team (she even teamed up with Ryo's kid sister Yuri on the Women Fighters Team in KOF 2000); it's simply a family obligation. | |

In The Gamer's Alliance, family honor is a big deal to the more traditional Yamatian clans such as the Hyuga and the Ofuchi, so much so that many Yamatians would rather commit suicide than bring dishonor upon their clan. | |

Not a particularly prominent example, but the von Karmas from the Ace Attorney certainly qualify. Manfred von Karma is a prosecutor who has never lost a case in forty years, and he's raised his daughter, Franziska, and his adopted son/student, Miles Edgeworth, to do the same. To a much lesser extent, the Fey family. Being the future Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique appears to have its ups and downs for Maya Fey, but, if nothing else, it seems to be the source of a lot of pressure and uncertainty. |

Tomb Raider (2013): Played straight and then subverted with Lara's friend Sam, a descendant of Himiko. She begins the game admiring and respecting her ancestor to the extent that Lara remarks that she loves telling Himiko's story. Near the end of the game, after everything they've been through, Sam explicitly states she hopes she never hears Himiko's name again. In Rise of the Tomb Raider Lara is trying to restore her family's honor that was stained by her Adventurer Archaeologist father's outrageous claims about the supernatural. This was the case in the first game as well, but after Yamatai Lara knows that her father was correct and wants to prove it. |

Costigan from The Departed cites this as a possible reason why he's joining the police force when he has other, much more promising opportunities in front of him. His entire family aside from his father were criminals, and it's implied that he is trying to make up for it. When asked about it, he quotes a line that he attributes to Hawthorne: "Families are always rising and falling in America." | |

RCN: Family honor is a big deal to the aristocratic families that rule the Republic of Cinnabar, and most especially to the lead characters, Daniel Leary and Adele Mundy. Each character strongly associates their personal honor with the honor of their family, and the strongest promise they can give is on the honor of their family name. The reputation of their families also has a strong impact on how others treat them. | |

Babylon 5: In the episode "There All Honor Lies", a Minbari clan tries to avenge their members killed by Sheridan during the Earth-Minbari war by framing Sheridan. While questioning one of the members, Delenn points out that Lennier is a member of the same clan and has brought honor to the clan. Lennier calls out his own clan for using dishonorable methods, however Delenn and Lennier decide not to go public with the fact that the frame-up was ordered by the leaders of the clan, in order to preserve its honor. Centauri clans are always squabbling among themselves. This may be a subversion as it is more about family power than honor, but honor is not totally absent. Londo kills his friend in a Duel to the Death that obliged the winner to take on the loser's dependents as his own. His friend had, as it happens, deliberately arranged the duel to ensure the protection of his family. |
